Source: http://www.doksinet Practical Tips on Teaching Biochemistry Rongwu o gwuu Yang g ((Robert obe Young) ou g) Nanjing U University, ve s y, P.R . China 2016/12/06 1. Choose the teaching tool which is best for you Desktop PC or Notebook or iPad Pro Source: http://www.doksinet 2. Each lecture counts, especially first one and last one You have to teach every lecture with passion and take it very seriously Comments from one of my students I love Biochemistry just because of Yang sir. After listening to his first lecture, I cannot wait for next one every week. When I am in bad mood, I just cant help shouting to myself: how much I want to listen to Biochemistry right now� Source: http://www.doksinet How to give the first lecture Give a brief welcome speech Ask one student to talk about how much he or she knows about Biochemistry Play one song called“Biochemistry” Emphasize the class disciplines and introduce the grading policy Invite a senior student who did best in

biochemistry last semester to share the biochemistry-learning experiences Make a brief introduction about the recent biochemistry-related advances made by the Nobel laureates Introduce the molecule or breakthrough of the year related to biochemistry by Science Talk about what Biochemistry is, what biochemistry is about and what is the use of biochemistry Play three videosthe first is a news story about how a mother, a politics professor, treated her kids suffering from cystic fibrosis by self-studying biochemistry; the second one is also a story about how an undergraduate student diagnosed with chordoma from Duke university did his research about cancer in his spare time; the third one is “the inner life of the cell” created by Harvard university Give assignments Biochemistry Biochemistry Biochemistry I wish that I were wiser I feel I’m in way over my head I need a new advisor My courses really shouldnt be Such metabolic misery Biochemistry Biochemistry I wish that I were wiser

Biochemistry Biochemistry Reactions make me shiver They’re in my heart and in my lungs They’re even in my liver I promise I would not complain If I could store them in my brain Biochemistry Biochemistry I wish that I were wiser Biochemistry Biochemistry I’m truly in a panic The mechanisms murder me I should have learned organic For all I have to memorize I ought to win the Nobel Prize. Biochemistry Biochemistry I wish that I were wiser Source: http://www.doksinet A female test-genius from Class 2013 was sharing her biochemistry-learning experiences with her juniors How to give the last lecture ! %$%#%(%   (%("# ! $$% %(%%#$%%&#         *%$!  , !$%#%$%& %$$#%#!$%#$%& )"# $ "!%#,!#%"#!% !#% +*  !#% "%%#!" %#$%%&# $ !(&

$%& %$ !(!&% !&%% ) #($" !(* Source: http://www.doksinet My farewell speech Here let me borrow DNA, proteins and enzymes from biochemistry, to express my best wishes to you! As simple and beautiful as the DNA Double Helix, as helpful as the molecular chaperone, as perfect as the triose phosphate isomerase, being in pursuit of balance and harmony as nucleotide reductase and self-correction just as DNA polymerase! 3.
